Asked why he opted for the Congress, which did not win a unmarried seat in Delhi in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Vijender Singh mentioned: "I relate to the ideology and the leadership."

"As is propagated by our leadership, I want to be a friend of the electorate. I don't wish to be the 'neta' that visits once in five years. I am not going to do rallies or road shows. I am going to connect with the voters spontaneously," Singh mentioned.
